Call Us to Arrange a Dental Appointment

At Garden Springs Dental, we offer many methods for improving your oral health and helping you enjoy a more confident, happy smile. Our doctors would love to take the time to talk to you about all our options and how we can help you achieve your goals.

Natural-Looking Teeth Whitening Results

With any cosmetic dental treatment, the goal is to leave you with a beautifully balanced, harmonious smile. What we don’t want is a smile that looks too perfect, or it will seem unnatural. If you have ever seen anyone with a blindingly white smile, you know what we mean!

Similarly, the goal of professional teeth whitening is to leave you with a bright, refreshed smile. And the brighter your smile, the more approachable you seem and the more confident you feel.

However, you never have to worry that your teeth will look unnaturally white after treatment. A handheld shade guide helps us choose the appropriate level of whitening for you. Also, even professional treatment can't make your teeth any whiter than their brightest natural shade.

You must follow the instructions we provide for whitening your teeth at home. Stop treatment as soon as you achieve desired results or no longer see results. Continuing to whiten past this point can damage your tooth’s structure.

Start with Fresh, Clean Teeth

No matter which method you choose to whiten your teeth, we always recommend professional teeth cleaning at our Lexington, KY dental office before treatment. Plaque and tartar that build up over time on your teeth don't allow the whitening gel to come into direct contact with your teeth. The result is uneven whitening and inconsistent results, which is not what you want!

During your cleaning, your dental hygienist removes all the plaque and tartar from your teeth then polishes them to leave a fresh, clean surface behind. Starting your whitening treatment with super-clean teeth ensures the brightest, most natural-looking results.

Call us (859) 277-1189 to arrange an appointment for your next dental cleaning.

Customized Teeth Whitening Options

At Garden Springs Dental, we offer convenient teeth whitening options that will help you enjoy the benefits of a bright, sparkling smile. When you have options, you can choose the one that best fits your lifestyle and timeline.

There are countless products available today for whitening your teeth. We don't recommend store-bought whiteners because they do not have the potency to achieve the dramatic results we know you want.

Consider Whitening before Dental Work

If you are having any dental restorations done – crowns, bridges, fillings, veneers – consider whitening your teeth before we begin any of these procedures.

Since we have more control over the shade of these restorations, we can customize them to match the color of your newly whitened teeth. If you wait to whiten your teeth until after we complete the work, the whitening results may not blend in with your new dentistry.

If you would like to arrange a teeth whitening appointment at our Lexington, KY dental office, please call us at (859) 277-1189 to get started.

Maintain Your Beautiful, Bright Smile

It’s always a pleasure for us to see how delighted our patients are with their new smiles after a teeth whitening treatment. Many are pleasantly surprised that such a simple procedure could make such a dramatic difference in their lives!

When you look better, you feel better, and your confidence gets a boost. Your confident smile can even make those around you feel better!

Teeth whitening isn’t permanent and will need to be repeated eventually. But there’s a lot you can do to get the most out of your treatment and make the results last.

Brush and floss – when you brush twice a day and floss once, you remove the plaque and food debris that builds up on your teeth that makes them look dull or stained.

Avoid staining foods and drinks – There’s a long list of foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. Red wine and coffee are notorious for staining teeth, but dark teas, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and some curries can all leave stains behind.

Use any leftover whitening product – If you have whitening gel leftover from your at-home whitening, use it for monthly touchups.

Schedule routine dental cleanings – Seeing us for routine teeth cleanings is essential if you want to maintain a healthy smile. But cleaning your teeth every six months also remove surface stains and leaves your smile fresh and bright.

When you follow all these steps, you will be able to extend the results of teeth whitening in Lexington, KY. Please call us at (859) 277-1189 if you have any questions!

Meet Our Doctors:

Dr. Chris Davis, DMD

Dr. Davis is a graduate of the University of Kentucky dental school, one of the best in the country. He has been a dentist for 21 years and has completed several post-graduate courses in different ...

Hailing from El Paso, Texas, Dr. Edens graduated from Texas A&M University with a double major in biochemistry and genetics. After graduation, he attended dental school at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry.

The only way to properly whiten teeth is by using Hydrogen Peroxide. Whitening toothpaste only removes surface stains from coffee, tea, and smoking. Professional Tooth Whitening will change the deep shade of the tooth over time.

How Teeth Whitening Works

Bleaching trays are fabricated by the dentist to fit the patient’s teeth precisely. A gel solution is given to the patient to place in the trays. The trays should be worn for a period of about 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. Over 2-3 weeks, the teeth being treated with the hydrogen peroxide gel in the trays will noticeably change shades. Some teeth with a darker beginning shade may take longer to whiten and extra hydrogen peroxide gel may need to be purchased.

Whitening Post-Care

After the desired shade is reached, the patient should touch up as needed to maintain their whitening progress. Call our office to learn more about our whitening services.

Looking and feeling your best isn’t a luxury because we all tend to make snap judgments about others based on their appearance. Professional teeth whitening has become so popular because it is an easy and affordable way to give your smile and your confidence a boost.
